Some reports from Spain linked Barcelona to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but there are no hints concerning his summer departure at this stage. Napoli want to keep him and make him their top star since they’ll likely lose Victor Osimhen, Corriere dello Sport informed.
The Georgian winger is due for a new contract as he hasn’t improved his initial one. The relationship between Aurelio De Laurentiis and his agent is good enough for it not to be a major problem. The president stated in a recent presser.
“I’ve met his representatives to discuss his deal, we started sketching things out, but they postponed everything to the end of season because Kvaratshkelia is fine here.”
The star often previously admitted to being a boyhood fan of Real Madrid and Guti in particular. The 23-year-old has had a subpar first half of the season compared to the previous one and hasn’t taken a step forward. He has looked better as of late and has still logged solid numbers, registering 6 goals and 5 assists in 30 appearances.
Our Take on Napoli, Barcelona, and Kvaratshkelia
The Partenopei usually only sell the players they want to, those who have release clauses or little time left on their contract. They’ll probably have to wait till the departure of Osimhen to come to terms on a new contract with him, as their numbers are all out of whack at the moment. It’d be stunning if he didn’t stay for at least a few years.
